Type of Chemical Reactions Lab

Observations:
Sample	Before rxn	After rxn
A: Cu	The wire was light brown, skinny, and shiny.	The flame was green and orange. The copper began melting and turned bright orange. A piece fell off and turned black. .
Mg	The ribbon had a silver color, wasflat and somewhat bent	Once the ribbon got hot enough, it burst into an intensely bright, white flame. After cooling, a white powdery substance was left on the prongs where the ribbon was.
B: CuCO4	It was a light green, powdery chalk-like substance.	As the Copper(II) Carbonate got hotter, it slowly started to turn all black. When it was all black and the burner was turned off, we put the lit splint in the test tube and the flame went out. The smoke dipped to the bottom and back up and out the top.
C: Zn + HCl	The Zinc was like a small grey   rock. The liquid was clear/ transparent.	Once the Zinc was dropped into the Hydrochloric Acid, the acid started to bubble immensely and steam /smoke was coming out of the top of the tube. We put the lit splint in the test tube and the flame went out with a pop.
Zn + CuSO4	The Zinc was like a small grey   rock. The liquid was light blue, somewhat clear/transparent.	Very little reaction. The Zinc gets darker in color.
D: Pb(N03)2 + Kl	The lead nitrate and the potassium iodide were clear/transparent liquids.	Once the potassium iodide is added to the lead nitrate, the liquid turned entirely yellow. After it set, the yellow stayed at the bottom.

II.

A) We took a wood splint and lit the end on fire and placed it over the end of the test tube, and the flame went out. The carbon dioxide in the tube displaced the oxygen needed to make the fire burn, thus putting out the flame.

B) We tilted the test tube and then lit a wood splint on fire and placed it over the end of the tube, and the flame went out with a pop noise.  Zn + HCl à ZnCl + H
